I had a Frontier S3 that unfortunately died after 2.5 years. I loved that watch but I decided if I was going to buy a new smart watch I wanted to research all options. I didn't want an apple watch because I had their first generation watch (which was fine), I use a Samsung phone, and it seems like everyone has an apple watch. When I had my frontier I always got complements because it looks different and like a real watch. I looked at fitbit, garmin, and others and decided that I really did like the features and look of the Samsung watch best. Of course then I had to decide between the new Active and 2 different sizes of the Galaxy. I chose the Galaxy because it had the bezel and also the integrated speaker which is nice. If I didn't care about those 2 things I probably would have selected the Active. Then I debated about the size and whether to stick with the slightly large 46mm form factor the frontier had or the smaller 42mm. I went to a Verizon store to see the difference in person and landed on the smaller 42mm size. I'm really happy with it. The watch looks great, has fantastic battery life, and works really well. The SHealth app leaves a little to be desired but I think I'll look around at 3rd party alternatives. One tip - the batteries in these devices have about a 2 year lifespan. Do yourself a favor and get an extended warranty. I searched Amazon and found the ASURION 3 year personal care extended protection plan. It isn't that expensive and basically means you're covered for 4 years in total. Trust me, it's worth it. There are several variations of the protection plans so make sure to get the personal care one I've mentioned. Good luck!

I brought the smaller 42mm Galaxy watch in midnight black. My wrist is small and kind of narrow, the 42mm Galaxy watch fits perfectly. I brought a black steel band for the watch but the band that came with the watch is so soft and light that I decided to use the watch with the standard black silicone band. The Galaxy watch is very light, I don't feel that I am wearing it. This watch can be use by itself or link by bluetooth to a android or an iOS smartphone. I don't have a smartphone and the Galaxy watch app cannot be installed on a tablet, only a smartphone. I try to install the Galaxy watch app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 tablet, it would not install, a message said that the tablet is not an appropriate device. I install the software on the Galaxy watch standalone and connect it to my home network. The Galaxy watch is working perfectly as a standalone smartwatch. I will purchase a smartphone in the future but this smartwatch can be use without a smartphone but not using all of it's features. The 42mm Galaxy watch has approximately 2 - 3 days of charge before charging it again. The larger 46mm Galaxy watch has approximately 4 - 5 days of charge before having to place the watch on the charger. It will take approximately 2 hours to completely charge the Galaxy watch from 0 to 100%. I charge the Galaxy watch every morning while I am washing myself and getting dress. This is a feature rich and a very powerful smartwatch. I had use a Garmin VIVOactive HR and a Fitbit Ionic smartwatch before purchasing the Samsung Galaxy watch. I notice that the price of the Galaxy watch is going down. Before buying a smartwatch, cut out a 46mm circle out of cardboard and a 42mm circle, place both on your wrist to see which size fits your wrist better. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is one of the better smartwatch being sold. Goggle which smartwatch is the best or the better smartwatch being sold today. Samsung Galaxy Watch will be high on the list. I personal highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Watch either the larger 46mm or the smaller 42mm size.

I am always leary buying something used but, I took a leap of faith and ordered a 42mm watch. It was in used/like new condition. It arrived a few days after ording and as advertised it came in a white aftermarket box and contained an OEM charging block, cable and charger. Overall the watch was in good condition. There were some light surface marks on it but, I was looking for blemishes. The watch face did not have any scratches. The band which was an OEM black plastic band was a little dirty but, cleaned up by using a clorox wipe on it. It was dead so it tood a little for it to charge up. Installed the app and got everying up and running with little effort. Using it my first day I found that I still needed to tweek some of the settings. I had plenty of battery left at the end of the day. I charged it overnight and decided I wanted to see how much battery life I would have. I ended up with one full day/night and the battery took me through to a 2nd day and at 930 pm I was down to about 3% battery. I have no issue charging daily but, wanted to see if I ended up working late how much time would I have before it goes dead. My opinion is that I was satisfied with just about 2 days of use. There are an abundance of watch faces to meet everyone's needs and taste. I really wanted a more smart watch to monitor my O2 sats, heart rate, etc and this does a great job in doing that. I also set reminders if I am sedentary too long, it will prompt me to get moving. So, to those who are squeamish on buying used items take the plunge and buy it. Use the money you would have spent on a new watch on a band, screen protector, etc. I realize there are more current watches that do more but, the features on this watch checked off all of my boxes. As for the features, I find the heart rate and O2 measuring are very accurate as well as the step tracking. Very happy with this purchase!
